Giants RB Brown has broken leg

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - New York Giants running back Andre
Brown is expected to miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his
left fibula during Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers.

Head coach Tom Coughlin confirmed the injury following New York's 38-10
victory, and the Newark Star-Ledger reported that tests taken on Monday
determined that the break should keep Brown sidelined throughout the regular
season and playoffs.

"It takes a lot off of the win, to be honest with you," Coughlin remarked
during Sunday's postgame press conference.

Brown had been serving as the main backup to Ahmad Bradshaw and leads the
Giants with eight rushing touchdowns while running for 385 yards on 73
carries. The 25-year-old recorded a touchdown for the fifth consecutive game
in Sunday's triumph and amassed 64 yards on 13 attempts before leaving the
contest early in the fourth quarter.

His injury will likely mean an increased role for 2012 first-round draft
choice David Wilson, who's been used sparingly on offense so far during his
rookie season.
